A new village.  A new life.  But eight-year-old Miro knows the real reason why his family moved from the inland city of Knin to the sunkissed village of Ljeta on the Dalmatian Coast, a tragedy he tries desperately to forget. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ljeta years are happy ones, though, and when he marries his childhood sweetheart, and they have a baby daughter, it seems as though life is perfect.  However, storm clouds are gathering above Yugoslavia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWar breaks out, and one split-second decision destroys the life Miro has managed to build. Driven by anger and grief, he flees to Dubrovnik, plunging himself into the hard-bitten world of international war reporters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere begins a journey that will take him ever deeper into danger: from Dubrovnik, to Sarajevo, to the worst atrocities of war-torn Bosnia, Miro realises that even if he survives, there can be no way back to his earlier life. The war will change him, and everyone he loves, forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thorpe, Annabelle","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":48151170285907,"sku":"XG81784299507","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/thorpe-annabelle-the-people-we-were-before-xg81784299507-55971039576403.jpg?v=1715713507","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/the-people-we-were-before-1","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
